@brittanybussemd A lot of these study’s are pure garbage and of course nobody understands that so the headlines spread like wild fire. Rinse and repeat

Influencer: This study says Squats are better than walking for glycemic control Actual study: Both walking and squats after meals were equally effective for glycemic control Subject pool: 18 overweight to obese men aged 21-29 years It needs to be mandatory to understand the composition of the subjects before making broad generalizations

Over 6 months. Hundreds of faces. One of the most challenging drawings I’ve ever done. Here’s the full time-lapse video of my drawing of @McIlroyRory winning @TheMasters. #TheMasters

“If the English physique has declined, this is no doubt partly due to the fact that the Great War carefully selected the million best men in England and slaughtered them, largely before they had had time to breed.” ~ George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier, 1937

I hear this every week in my office: "Doc, my heart rate hits 150 during squats — that's cardio, right?" No. And if your cardiologist hasn't explained why, keep reading. 🧵

“The secret to life is so simple. You don’t have a lot of envy, you don’t have a lot of resentment, you stay cheerful despite your troubles. All these are simple rules.” “And I was 7 years old when I figured this out.” - Charlie Munger. 2019

@FischerKing64 There’s not a world where he can win another major

In 2010 I was staying at a hotel in Dublin - work related. I flipped on the TV, and it was a sleazy documentary about Tiger Woods. It mainly focused on the womanizing of his father, who f*cked anything that moved, but he had a real preference for blond white chicks. In his neighborhood, people saw these Nordic women coming in and out of the house. Woods Sr explained they were ‘cleaning ladies.’ His Asian wife presumably just didn’t care, or have the energy to care. It was interesting to me seeing this in Europe because the US media was behind on Tiger’s behavior. He was obviously ‘a chip off the old block.’ But the American media was reticent. They wanted him to be the face of Swiss watches and financial firms - not the guy so horny he was banging waitresses in the Las Vegas Denny’s at 3am. But that’s what he was doing. Everyone has his flaws. But Tiger would have beaten the Jack Nicklaus record if he had been more self-controlled. He had all the talent to do it. Tiger is a tragic figure in this sense - so overwhelmed by inherited impulses that he couldn’t achieve what he was capable of. I like him still. Maybe he could still win a few majors. But it’s not likely.

@CoffeeBlackMD I could flip the switch on everybody on death row and sleep like a baby

It’s interesting that most of the comments I saw near the top were about people not having the “stomach” to witness or perform. Which is probably truish enough. I sometimes have a hard time with an MMA fight. But also. Societies have always had a small “class” of people who can do this kind of work. Which is also interesting. This isn’t a “pro torture” post, but rather noticing a few things. Also. You could all probably name a criminal or two. If you’re being honest. That you wouldn’t be intellectually or very morally bothered by their public dismemberment via drawn and quartering. Even if you’d not have the stomach to watch or do yourself. Now imagine the criminal raped your child to death. The calculus changes. We may be highly evolved primates but we’re not THAT enlightened. If we’re honest.

@BrianSuttererMD I can’t believe our governing bodies continue to allow Chiropractors to operate. It’s insanity

You should be legally required to disclose that you’re a chiropractor if you’re sending tweets like this with “Dr” in front of your name

Rasmus Dahlin says the Sabres stick up for one another better this season because they worked on their brotherhood. How do you work on brotherhood? “Drink beers.” 🍻

@JacobGudiol @erikwillander Hello both, would there happen to be an English transcription of this? I’m getting irritated with these studies as well and am very interested! Thanks!

@erikwillander Modigt att göra det i förväg 😀

För alla som har tröttnat på Ishockeyförbundets upprepade oförmåga att förstå och kritiskt granska flum-forskning (det finns gott om metodologiskt undermålig forskning på marknaden) rekommenderar jag Jacobs föreläsning som en hälsosam motvikt.

For anyone wondering how a third-grader can complete six years' worth of math in a single year. This knowledge graph spans 3,000 math topics, from 4th grade to the university level, providing the perfect basis for mastery learning. Students can go as fast or far as they want! There are no restrictions whatsoever. The only requirement is that they must demonstrate mastery of each topic before moving on to the next. Kids are capable of incredible things when given that kind of freedom and support.

A decade ago, @usahockey started its 51 in ‘30 initiative, reshaping how it develops goalies. Since, the U.S. has produced some of the best goalies in the world and entered this tournament with the strongest goalies. Goaltending just delivered the first gold medal in 46 years.

Claiming that Norway's Olympic dominance is due to their youth sports program is a textbook example of motivated storytelling > evidence. First, using the U.S. as the comparator introduces massive confounds. Seriously evaluating this claim requires appropriate comparisons: other Nordic countries like Sweden, Finland, Denmark. They have similar youth sports approaches, but don't dominate like Norway. So right away using the right comparator shows the claim that youth sports philosophy explains Norway’s dominance is suspect. Second, look at medal distribution. Norway’s profile is overwhelmingly winter-skewed - 70% of their medals are in winter events. That's the opposite of Sweden. It's what's driving Norway's success vs comparator nations: extreme winter specialization where they can compound their historical, cultural, and geographical advantages. What about 'rebutting' that Norway has some stars in non-winter sports? That's actually a self-own. If the youth model were driving broad elite superiority, you’d expect a more balanced winter–summer Olympic medal profile. You don’t see that. A few standout athletes don’t change the aggregate pattern, so that rebuttal fails. Norway may well have a healthy youth system worthy of emulation. But the evidence doesn’t show it’s the cause of Olympic dominance. And you don’t need to engage in uncritical storytelling about Olympic dominance to defend child-centered youth sport.

Leonardo DiCaprio said: “The reason I date young women is because they are less argumentative and walk around naked.” He knows...

“Do you have courage, O my brothers? Are you brave? Not courage before witnesses, but hermit’s and eagle’s courage, which not even a god any longer beholds? He has heart who knows fear but masters fear; who sees the abyss, but with pride.” — Nietzsche

"So you can't afford a 30-year mortgage, but you're going to take out a 50-year mortgage to pay $300 less a month but pay $500,000 more to the bank by the end of the loan?" "That's correct, Dave."

My favorite Charlie Munger story: In 1953, Munger was 29 years old. Recently divorced. Lost the house. Huge social stigma of divorce back then. His 8-year-old son, Teddy, was diagnosed with cancer. The leukemia was incurable. No medical insurance - Munger paid for all his medical care. Charlie would visit Teddy in the hospital every day -- and then walk the streets crying. Teddy died at the age of 9. Charlie was broke, divorced and just lost his child. 99.9% of people would've turned to alcohol, drugs, or suicide. (And you'd understand why) Munger never did. Fast forward to 52 years old, a failed surgery left him blind in one eye with the potential of going fully blind one day. Charlie was an obsessive learner who read every book he could get his hands on. When confronted with the possibility of going blind and no longer being able to read he said: "It's time for me to learn braille!" The only thing that might be more impressive than his intellect was his actions. RIP. --------- Munger on Self-Pity: "Generally speaking, envy, resentment, revenge, and self-pity are disastrous modes of thought. Self-pity gets pretty close to paranoia… Every time you find your drifting into self-pity, I don’t care what the cause, your child could be dying from cancer, self-pity is not going to improve the situation. It’s a ridiculous way to behave. Life will have terrible blows, horrible blows, unfair blows, it doesn’t matter. Some people recover and others don’t. There I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well. Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something and that your duty was not to be immersed in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion. That is a very good idea."
